Chipping Effect from the AK 3rd Generation range – a medium for chipped paint and wear on metal and wood.

Chipping Effect is a medium applied between two coats of paint. Once the top coat is dry you wet the surface and lift the paint away in places with a brush or a toothpick – leaving chips that look exactly like genuinely flaked paintwork.

What it is for in figure painting

  • Wear on vehicles – edges, hatches and the places crews step and grab.
  • Old paint on wood – crates, carts and furniture.
  • Battered armour – lacquered plate with bare metal showing through.
  • Rusted surfaces – alongside Medium Rust and Dark Rust.

What to pair it with

Apply it between a metal or rust base and the top colour. Pick out the chips with a dark glaze and lightly highlight their edges.

Frequently asked questions

What is the step-by-step?
Metal or rust base first, then Chipping Effect, then the top colour once dry. Wet the surface with water, wait a moment and lift the paint away in places with a brush.

Where should the chips be?
Where the model would actually wear – edges, corners, around hatches, handholds and lower surfaces. Chips scattered at random across a whole panel look wrong.

How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.

Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.

The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
